About this map

Indian Lake sits at the heart of this central Adirondack landscape, where the waters of the Indian River and Cedar River converge near the northeastern reaches of the Adirondack Park. The settlement of Indian Lake is depicted alongside recreational landmarks such as the Cedar River Golf Course and the quiet waters of Adirondack Lake and Lake Abanakee. The map illustrates a complex network of waterways, including the Essex Chain Lakes and the remote Rock Lake, linked by numerous brooks such as Johnny Mack Brook and Nicholas Brook.

Elevated terrain is a defining characteristic, with prominent peaks like Sawyer Mountain, Mill Mountain, and Burgess Mountain overlooking the river valleys. Local history is anchored by sites like the Cedar River Cemetery and the Forest House, while the rural road system, including Cedar River Rd and Big Brook Rd, provides the primary access through this heavily wooded and water-rich terrain. This edition provides a snapshot of the region's mid-20th-century development before modern digital mapping became the standard.
